Saw a V-22 today...

[Brian_Gladden]

I was in Westminster VT working traffic control and I heard a weird aircraft sound. Like a combination of the local Medivac Helo (DHART 1 + 2 EC-135's) and a moderately loud jet like an early turbojet Lear.

I'm looking around and at about 5,500 feet is a V-22 hauling A$$. Was in and out of audible and visual range in less and a minute and a half. Looked to be heading along the Connecticut river valley. Seemed strange to see one, single ship here in the backwoods of Vermont.

Maybe they were getting in a cross-country after dropping off Obama's dog at Martha's Vineyard. :icon_lol:

Okay, thread over. TARPSBird wins.

The last one out of the thread shut the lights off and lock the door.

[stansdds]

In before the lock! :icon_lol:

Oh, and I was thinking the same thing as TARPSbird.

...and maybe they were doing their job; defending our country.
